Seems like whoever released the info didn’t do much research. One article even says they are the first back-to-back number one picks to play together. Which isn’t true because of Harper/Strasburg…

Article says that this is the first time two consecutive number one overall picks have played for the same minor league team, and even though Strasburg rehabbed at Harrisburg while Harper was there in 2011, maybe because he was on the Major League DL that doesn’t count?

Bryce Harper and Strasburg each played all 3 levels with the Nats in 2011, so they likely overlapped. That’s all I’ve got.
